Vacuum Plates for Special-Shaped Jars
Custom Vacuum Solutions for Irregular Jar Geometries
Sprint Drives offers a specialized range of Vacuum Plates designed to securely grip and handle jars with non-standard shapes during palletizing, depalletizing, or transfer operations. These plates are engineered to accommodate unique geometries—such as wide bodies, tapered necks, or asymmetrical profiles—ensuring reliable vacuum hold without damaging delicate glass surfaces. Ideal for use in high-speed production environments, they are tailored to fit each jar profile and production layout.
